While I like balance in a player, I feel like as a 17 year old that is a backhanded compliment for a late first rounder. If you are a top 10 player, it means your game doesn't have a lot of flaws, but once you get to 20-30 it starts to mean that you are good, even really good, but not special. Sure you need bottom 6 forwards to fill out a team, but then you look Dickinson, Faksa, Dellandrea types this team has taken that fit that role. As fans we always feel a bit disappointed with them as first rounders. Had they been 3rd or 5th rounders, we'd have been ecstatic about those picks though you question if they'd have had the same leash without the 1st round halo.
Late first rounders are always tough, do you go with one in the hand or two+ in the bush. At this point in time, I say go for it because this team is going to run out of cap space and start losing high end talent before they are going to need a solid 3rd line center.

You had me at The Perfect Weapon.
Luka Radivojevic!
Damnit! Yes! (Not sure why I forgot about him -- for some reason I thought he was a right winger??)
